This is the legacy of catch and release. Sixty-five times caught on a fly and Sixty-five times of pleasure for everyone. What a prize. But how did she die and what has become of her. I think I'll read the article. As for the Carp being a trash fish... In some parts of this world it is the prize fish! Hard to catch and often hard fighting. I turn down no fish on the line. And talk about trash... Catfish will eat anything on the bottom, in the mud, something rotting. Go figure how this golden beauty got the rep.

Dottie, the huge largemouth bass that recently died. People were thinking she would become the new world record.

Then there was Mr. Limpet ....

Looking forward to the stories and some pix from the Carp Slam. Sounds like fun for a worthwhile cause.

Get 'em done there Tim. I may try to get in on it one of these years, I need to become more familiar with the area first :)

Carp on a fly is way underrated. If you haven't done it you should give it a try. I call them "Bronze Rockets."

Benson was one hefty lady. Its funny how they differ from bass because they say that the more a certain bass is caught, the smarter it becomes but a carp, seems like it remains stupid and doesn't get any smarter.
